Here’s how to track your ballot]Even if you don’t bring your mail-in ballot with you to your assigned polling place on Tuesday, you can still vote. Because they understand that actually when they check you in, it alerts them on your record that you were given a mail ballot, so they’re actually trained to ask you for the mail ballot," he said.
